点评:My wife and I had the greatest of pleasure in being the only 2 people on this particular afternoon's guided tour of The Royal Citadel, Plymouth.
Our guide Janet was totally fantastic. She was incredibly personable, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, witty, respectful and a pleasure to be with for over 2 hours.
The establishment itself is not a great deal to look at from the outside but once inside, it is a total delight and honour to be able to share the history and the premises with the serving marines. The views from the ramparts are wonderful.
The highlight for us (apart from Janet of course ) was the visit to the Chapel where we had a personal audience with the Padre. What a total gentleman and one of the nicest, most empathetic human beings I have ever had the good fortune to meet.
A heart warming chat and discussion with him was the perfect end to a perfect afternoon.
Top Tips! Remember: You can only book tickets online and in advance as tours are very limited as it is a residential, working, military establishment.
Remember: DON'T forget your individual photo ID. You will be refused entry if you forget to bring it with you on the day!
Remember :you have to surrender your phone to be locked away until the tour has finished, so unfortunately, no photos.
That apart.......enjoy!
翻译:我和我的妻子非常荣幸,因为在这次下午的普利茅斯皇家城堡导览游中,我们是仅有的两位客人。
我们的导游珍妮特简直太棒了。她非常亲切友好、知识渊博、专业、风趣幽默、彬彬有礼,和她一起度过了两个多小时,真是太愉快了。
城堡本身从外观上看并不起眼,但一旦进入城堡内部,能够与现役海军陆战队员分享历史和建筑,真是令人欣喜和荣幸。从城墙上望去,景色美不胜收。
对我们来说,最精彩的部分(当然,除了珍妮特之外)是参观教堂,在那里我们与神父进行了私人觐见。他是一位非常绅士的人物,也是我有幸遇到的最善良、最善解人意的人之一。
与他温暖的交谈和讨论为这个完美的下午画上了圆满的句号。
重要提示!请记住:由于这里集居住、办公和军事功能于一体,参观名额非常有限,因此只能提前在线预订门票。
请记住:别忘了带上您的个人照片身份证件。如果您当天忘记携带,将被拒绝入场!
